When Jeong Bong and Seong Hye married, they left Seoul to open a guesthouse on Jeju Island. As the busy summer season winds down, their tranquil life is disrupted by the sudden arrival of Seong Hye's ex, In Gu, and Jeong Bong’s former colleague, Chae Yun. Seong Hye senses tension between her husband and Chae Yun, and her unease grows when In Gu threatens to expose her past to Jeong Bong. With emotions escalating and secrets surfacing, the four are soon entangled in a web of jealousy and mistrust. Can the picturesque scenery of Jeju grant them the serenity they need to navigate through this unexpected storm of emotions? (Source: Viki) Edit Translation

Do NOT read the synopsis.

I've no idea who wrote the extremely hyped up synopsis which, after viewing, is actually quite the opposite of what is shown in the movie. I've never run across a synopsis worded in such a way as to 'cover' for the lack of substance, plot, story, etc, but here it is. I was HIGHLY disappointed in this movie. The acting was great. But that was it.

Their tranquil life was not disrupted. There is no sense of tension between Seong Hye's husband and Chae Yun so she doesn't sense it, and her there is no unease when In Gu (doesn't) threaten to expose her past to Jeong Bong. There are no emotions to escalate and no secrets were unsurfaced, the four were not entangled in a web of jealousy and mistrust. There was no storm of emotion. Maybe if there had been any of this it would've been a good movie. The acting was well done despite the uncommonly slow story? plot?

Seriously, I don't give participation awards to every drama or movie because in doing so it doesn't challenge writers to give their best. Maybe the consequences of giving ratings too high in comparation to the drama or movie's worth is being felt in the poor selection of drama and movies coming out of S Korea in the past 2 yrs or so. Yes, a few have been extremely well written though.
